The little town Arco-iris is to be found in Abrigada, in the municipal area of Alenquer. It began in 1997 and is appreciated by Church and by civil authorities who recognize its possible public benefits.

The Mariapolis was begun in the early 1970s as a training centre for the growing community of the Focolare Movement in that region.
